Product Description Features Reference: 3.3V/50mA/1.9 GHz Gain: 15.3 db is a low noise amplifier (LNA) with low loss bypass which requires only a single control input. It is designed for high performance applications up to 3.8 GHz. With minimal external matching, the device achieves outstanding noise figure (NF), high gain and high linearity. The LNA is operated from a single positive supply of 1.8 to 5.0 V with a selectable Iddq range of 15 to 80 ma. Consult with the GRF applications engineering team for custom tuning/evaluation board data and device s- parameters.

Pin Out (Top View) Pin Assignments: Pin Name Description Note 1 VENABLE/BYPASS Enable Voltage Input Venable < =0.2 volts sets bypass Mode. Venable and external series resistor control the device Iddq when Venable is high. 2 NC No Connect or Ground No internal connection to die 3 RF_In LNA RF input Partially-matched 50Ω. An external DC blocking cap must be used. 4 RF_Out LNA RF output Internally matched 50Ω. VDD must be applied through a choke to this pin 5 NC No Connect or Ground No internal connection to die 6 NC No Connect or Ground No internal connection to die PKG BASE GND Ground Provides DC and RF ground for LNA, as well as thermal heat sink. Recommend multiple 8 mil vias beneath the package for optimal RF and thermal performance. Refer to evaluation board top layer graphic on schematic page.
